Marrying the Better Beastman
In my last life, I had been beaten black and blue, crying over the phone to my parents—only to hear them dismiss it as just part of married life.
So this time, I shoved their words back at them.
"After all, Celie's married to him now. In marriage, fights are normal, aren't they? And missing a meal or two shouldn't be a problem. You've had enough sea cucumber porridge to last—your nutrition must be well balanced."
I flashed them a bright smile.
But then, from their side of the call, a terrified scream split the air.
Gideon had returned.
Only… he wasn't quite the same as before. Blood glistened on the edges of his jagged teeth, his gaze darker and more feral than ever.
